Researching Light & Shadow

One of the preproduction parts very important for us, is the research.
It can take hours or even days but gives you visual vocabulary that increases a lot the artistic qualitity of the project.
We went to the amazing public library of Vienna, you can find everything here. To give you an idea, I found even portuguese books.

This time, our topic was Baroc, the light and shadow for "Two worlds". It´s amazing to see how these paintings influence the look of many films. Specially the realized artist, Rembrand with his paintings is used as reference by hundreds of cinematographers.


25 years of Sahaja Yoga in Austria

The weekend of 10 & 11/02 was the time to celebrate the aniversary of the Sahaja Yoga in the land of Astra.

After the ys seminar in the Winter´s house, the yuva shaktis worked hardly not only for the 25 year´s seminar it self but to make "Two worlds" come true. It was also the time to sell some Cds. ;)

"For us, it´s very symbolic that a country which suffered some strong attacks against the muladhara has such a beautiful collective that develops projects like "Two Worlds" to spread innocence."

"Two worlds" is a project that has been supported by the whole austrian collective. It´s impossible to imagine a film like this without the support of this strong sangha. Thanks a lot! ;)

The master of connections

For some time we had the problem "how to sell the Cds "Primavera" to the world", "how to inform people that our Cd exists?". We didn´t know one only needs to write to one person and through his "voice" Asia, America, Oceania, Europe and Africa would get to know about the Cd.

Even nowadays, people think he is a kind of web entity or a virtual yogui - this we don´t know. But after we sent the message to uncle Toni, the 5 continents ordered the "Primavera" Cd.

Here we would like to express our grattitude for his help that for him might have been a simple gesture but a simple gesture of the master of connections ... the world get to know! ;)

danke schön, uncle Toni!

English support

In the beggining of January, we received the support of the english yuva shakti, represented by Gautama Payment. It was the time to talk about technical details & production.

The day of 13/01 in Vienna was a quite unnexpected warm day for the european winter, 19º C. The sun was shining strongly while the english boy could see from the airplane the city of music slowly being revealed by the clouds. Wilkommen in Wien!

We had a lunch with the yuvas at our flat before we started the dialogue about "Two Worlds" that just finished at 5:00 PM of the next day. Very intense and productive I should say. ;)

Before Gautama went back London, he visited the YS arshram and took some "Primavera" Cds to be sold in England.

Thanks, YSUK! Thanks, Gautama!

1) In one of the rare moments without his Mac, Gautama quicly explained the global conflict scenario and the importance of having a Second Life.

2) More relaxed, with his Mac, Gautama cleans his feet on the white bear seconds before Madhu teleports himself home.
